Do you seriously think that this story won't be discredited by neo-con blowhard pundits saying that because the research came from Berkeley, it must be liberal partisanship?
You must not listen to much talk radio or Fox news. I don't blame you for that, but if you don't know what rhetoric and propaganda the opponent uses, you will never prevail.
Berkeley has a fine school and all, but don't you think that it's liberal reputation (deserved or not) might provide the argument that the research is partisan?
I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
However, it is better to have such technologies around and hope for the best, rather than not publishing online music or movies just out of fear that someone will crack their security. In the first case you have some piracy and some sales, on the second case you only end up with piracy.
Yeah, because piracy has pretty much eliminated the sale of music and movies.
In fact, there is only one sale of any given title anymore and that person just uploads it to the net.
CFO: It looks like we have quite a problem, Eric. We are losing employees because their stock options are worth so much, they don't wan't to work anymore.
CEO: The deuce you say, George. There's only one thing to do.
CFO: What's that?
CEO: George, we have to tank the company. When the stock bottoms out, we'll buy back those options and correct the retention problem. We must destroy Google to save it.
CFO: OMFG, you're brillant. But how will we devalue the company? Google is doing great.
CEO: We're going to need help. We need someone with experience in this sort of thing. Get Carly at HP on the phone, quick!
Still though, this line really gives me the giggles.
The rules for determining the winner would be slightly more complicated than they are now, but they would be based on elementary mathematics and should be understandable by virtually anyone old enough to vote.
B.2.2 Extremely Low Frequency Biological/Ecological Monitoring and Interference Mitigation The ELF ecological monitoring program is an independent evaluation of the possible hazards ELF RF transmissions may have on the environment. Sampling and gathering of data was completed at the end of FY93 with review and comments on the resultant data by the National Academy of Sciences expected during FY96. The ELF interference mitigation efforts fund the procurement and maintenance of devices used to ground electrical voltages induced in long metal inductors (e.g., wire fences, cable lines) in areas adjacent to the Wisconsin and Michigan ELF radio transmitters.

"The government must play a greater role in detecting those who conceal their identities online," said Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith, a sponsor of the bill.
With all due respect to the Representative from Texas, I call bullshit.
I can understand the problems deliberately fraudulent registration information can be when trying to track down the owners of a malfeasant commerce site, but what about the option to reveal no information to the public?

Look, I know that the source is irrelevant to the message.
The point that I am trying to make is that politics and logic are different animals.
It would be nice if our electorate were well educated and versed in logical fallacies and the difference between fact and rhetoric, but they aren't.
That is why Kerry lost.
If you do not recognize that, then the neocons win again in 2008.
Don't assume that because I might discuss painful truths that I am on their side.
Keeping one's head in the sand is no way to rally others to your cause.

Shooting messengers like me is why Kerry lost.
I'm quite familiar with the ad hominem logical fallacy. But to assume that my posting is a form of attack is a non sequeteur to my point.
You and I understand logic, but logical thought apparently does not preclude assumptions.
If logical thinkers were in the majority in America, Bush would almost certainly have lost.

My first thought at seeing the headline.
This is just the sort of thing one would expect to happen when fraggers decide to mate and name the kids with l33t-speak.

That's not a root kit.
Here. Now this is a root kit, mate.
Can drive a million of these things.
I wonder if this technology coluld be applied to making flying smart dust with silicon cilla?
Good thing we can't hear it.

You seem to have missed the very next line after news for nerds on the /. masthead.
Stuff that matters.
This matters.

Damn, I wish I hadn't posted now so I could mod yours up. You win. :)

Oh how I wished I lived in this man's world.
The Earth's natural resonance is about 7.83 Hz, also known as the Schumann resonance.
There is evidence that this field is used by living cells as a timing frequency of sorts.
The powerful ELF and VLF transmissions are thought to "overdrive" cells, possibly leading to increased cancers.
I am also aware of anecdotal evidence of ELF waves "beaming messages" into the head of an individual.
However, since that person was wearing his underwear as a dew-rag, I am a bit sceptical on that one.
A different kind of ELF hazard. From here.

That's a double sided DVD in 3 minutes.
I'm sorry, but if the DVD takes longer to download than it takes the microwave to heat a HotPocket, I'm still going to be annoyed.

By being knee-jerk counter to "mainstream" media, instead of seeing it as one choice amongst many, you become just as played.
It's an easy mistake to make.
